Summary
This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to certain Eagle Aircraft Pty. Ltd. (Eagle) Model 150B airplanes. The proposed AD would require you to inspect the rudder cables for fraying, cracks, nicks, etc. (referred to as damage), and replace any damaged cables. The proposed AD would also require you to replace the rudder cable pulleys with larger diameter pulleys to eliminate the possibility of further damage. The proposed AD is the result of mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Australia. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect and correct damaged rudder cables caused by chafing of the cable against the pulleys. Continued airplane operation with damaged cables could result in rudder cable system failure with possible loss of airplane control.
